Molecular photoswitches enable dynamic control of processes with high spatiotemporal
precision, using light as external stimulus, and hence are ideal tools for different research …

Transcription is a molecular requisite for long-term synaptic plasticity and long-term memory
formation. Thus, in the last several years, one main interest of molecular neuroscience has …

In previous experiments on contextual memory, we proposed that the unreinforced re-
exposure to the learning context (conditioned stimulus, CS) acts as a switch guiding the …

When learned associations are recalled from long-term memory stores by presentation of an
unreinforced conditioned stimulus (CS), two processes are initiated. One, termed …

Members of the nuclear factor κB (NF-κB) family of transcription factors are activated within
the CNS in pathological settings of apoptosis and neurological disease. Recent work using …

The nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-κB) family of transcription factors has recently emerged as a
major regulator of the growth and elaboration of neural processes. NF-κB signaling has …

Protein kinase Mζ (PKMζ) is a newly described form of PKC that is necessary and sufficient
for the maintenance of hippocampal long term potentiation (LTP) and the persistence of …

Experiments with invertebrates support the view that intracellular events subserving the
consolidation phase of memory are preserved across evolution. Here, we investigate …

How memories persist is a fundamental neurobiological question. The most commonly
studied physiological model of memory is long-term potentiation (LTP). The molecular …

The proper growth and elaboration of neural processes is essential for the establishment of
a functional nervous system during development and is an integral feature of neural …
